Up to the hour of sunset did these "cascarilleros" work with only a few minutes of interruption, while they went back to the hut, and ate a hurried luncheon of ibex-meat and just as the sun was sinking behind the summit of the great Chumulari, they might have been seen trudging homeward each bearing a heavy bundle of bark, with Fritz following gleefully at their heels.
Guapo, who at this time did not look a year older than when first introduced, was as tough and sinewy as ever, and was at the head of the cascarilleros; and many a coceada did Guapo afterwards enjoy with his mountain friend the "vaquero" while passing backward and forward between Cuzco and the Montana.
This is a difficulty which the most experienced cascarilleros are not able to overcome. As an instance, the history is cited of a practico or speculator who led an exploration for these trees in the valley of Apolobamba.
The path along the river-sands would have been voluntarily followed by all the more irresponsible portion of the party, notwithstanding the blinding heats, on account of its smoother footing. The cascarilleros, however, objected that its tufts of canes and passifloras offered no promise for their researches. A compromise was effected.
Don Pablo returned to his studies; but Leon organised an expedition of cascarilleros, and returned to the Montana, where for many years he employed himself in "bark-hunting." Through this he became one of the richest of Peruvian "ricos."
